“Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria appeared on “Good Morning America” Thursday, where she talked with Katie Couric about the high-profile court case surrounding the embattled series as it prepares to end after eight seasons.

Speaking of the lawsuit brought by former costar Nicollette Sheridan, who sued ABC and the show for wrongful termination (and accused “DH” creator Marc Cherry of striking her), Longoria says the trial is “a stain on our legacy as a hit show.”

“I was surprised there was even a trial and that it went that far,” Longoria says. “I love Nicolette, and I love Marc Cherry, and I love our work environment…. That was the soap opera behind the soap opera. It was just unfortunate, the whole thing.”

In fact, Sheridan, whose wrongful termination case ended last month in a mistrial, is still desperately fighting her former bosses, according to Deadline, who reported Thursday that the actress’s lawyers filed papers this week in L.A. Court saying their client deserves a retrial and her claim for damages is valid.

The woes of Wisteria Lane are about to end for good, as the show signs off in May. Longoria recalled her first days on the show before it became a phenomenon.

“I remember sitting in the trailer and [costar Marcia Cross] saying, ‘You know, your life’s about to change. Our lives are about to change,” Longoria says.
